Junior and Post-Doctoral Fellows Program
Center for Humanistic Inquiry, Emory University

The Bill and Carol Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry announces up to three annual Junior and Post-Doctoral Fellowships for an academic year of study, teaching, and residence in the Center. The purpose of the FCHI Junior and Post-Doctoral Fellows Program is to stimulate and support humanistic research by providing scholars in early stages of their careers with the necessary time, space, and other resources. In addition, the Program was created to allow the Emory community access to a range of humanistic work by visiting scholars from other institutions.
Because the FCHI is a residential center, its intellectual life depends on collegial interaction. Fellows will be expected to be in residence full-time during both terms of the regular academic year and to take an active part in the life of the FCHI, as well as in the intellectual life of the larger University.
Stipends of $40,000 will be offered to Junior and Post-Doctoral Fellows. In addition, a research budget will be made available to each Fellow, along with shared office space in the Center and access to the Emory University Libraries.
This pool also includes a Fellowship in Poetics Information. See http://chi.emory.edu/fellowships/POE%20ann.pdf for more information on the poetics fellowship.
Deadline: February
